Show TREMONTON THE YEARS improvements in n reviewing what has been done in tremonton Tre monton and vicinity during tile the year just jusk drawing to a close it seems impossible to get at a correct estimate the money cost or value of the many improvements that have been made but bui that the work has been done iii in a more substantial manner than heretofore is apparent to the most unpracticed eye when the first buildings were erected here six years ago they were put up tip with a design to get them ready for use in fit the shortest possible time consequently they were not built with that care and expense necessary for lasting qualities some of them were what would be regarded in some older places as mere shacks and not considered fit tor for occupancy tor for more than a season or two but during the past year or two more permanent structures hale been erected ana boma of 0 to towns many years fears older than tre of them are quite up tip to the standard in onton we are aware that we cannot enumerate all ot of the improvements that have been made in 1909 but we will mention those that conic come to our mind and we think our readers will feel that our people have done very well considering that many ot of those who have made these improvements came cabrae herewith here liere with very little more ready money stock to start in business among the first of the new buildings we mention is tile the addition to the brict brick school house this addition consists of two large and ad convenient rooms built on to the west side ot of the former house A large hall extends through the building from north to south with doors opening into the school rooms front from either side in this liall hall are plenty of hooks for clothing and space for the other belongings of the pupils the building Is equips ed with a h hot t water v r furnace which generates a steady dy warmth that makes the rooms comfortable at all times the cost of this addition lias has been a bout making the entire value of tile the school property including tile lot in thu the neighborhood of I 1 several new dwelling houses have I 1 been erected in III town and others remodeled I 1 making them larger and more convenient frank Mel meldrain druin lias has almost entirely rebuilt his home lie moved the original part back from liis his blacksmith shop and added sonic some lour four or five rooms painted

concrete large porches and Is a credit to the owners taste as well as a an n ornament to tile the neighborhood its cost has not been given g yen us its but we imagine agine the owner would not care to

cottage which was intended for a ae hospital but for some time it ha been occupied as a dwelling outside ot of the village there havi been many improvements showing t that the farmers are beginning to
